Galloping Ghost Class History by Weldon Osgood, Thelma Ordwdy, Beverly Osgood and Jack Soule In 1937 thirty-eight of us entered the iirst grade, acting like the best ladies and gentlemen we have ever seen. Of these only eleven are gradu- ating this year. We were too much for one teacher, so we had to have 'two - Miss White and Miss Simonds Cnow Mrs. Gaidysj. About Christmas time we all grew tired of school, so we decided to have the measles. One day only two liked school well enough to stay. Na- omiyleinnings insisted that Ijois Rogers hang her clothes on the boys' side in the coat room until Lois took off the hood on her snowsuit and proved to Naomi she was a girl. We even had class couples then, such as Norma Morse and Frank Barcomb, who had to sit together one day. Then, too, Bob Slayton always saved Audrey Fuller a place for reading class. Miss Walbridge Know Mrs. Nortonj was our second grade teacher. Ned and Betsy Birchard and Phil McIntyre joined us. We had great fun drawing pictures, which we sent to Richard Carey when he was in the hospital. We struggled through the third grade with Mrs. Stokes. It really wasn't bad at all except for the threats and a few broken rulers. We stud- ied geography and to see what it would be like to live in Holland we made butter and cheese and brought crackers one day to school to eat. We shall never forget the little peek-a-boo dance we did at the concert that spring. Michele Nicoletti and Blenda Morey were added to our class this year. Miss Walbridge was our fourth grade teacher. New faces were Lor- raine Hall and Paul Wilson. One bright sunny afternoon we all had a wonderful time picking mayiiowers at the reservoir. ' In the fifth grade we had the late Miss Eaton. She was a little deaf 3 so sometimes when she would not pass enough paper for the back seats, no one dared speak loud enough to be heard and, consequently, they just sat there until she noticed them. It was her last year of teaching, so one afternoon we gave her a nice farewell party. Fred and Orville Gale join- ed us. One day, Freddie, the class clown, made a mistake on purpose and threw some mittens on top of the clock. It was in the sixth grade that Miss Marshall taught us to deal with fractions and draw. We gained, among others, Evatte Dickinson, Jean Prior, Beverly Osgood and Betty Sivret. We used to have a terrible time keeping Harold Staples awake. In the seventh grade the late Mrs. Simmons did a swell job of putt.ing up with us. Everything happened that year. One time some of the boys and girls stuffed Mrs. Simmons' coat sleeves full of paper. Another time she taped Edward Johnson's mouth for talking too much. Aline Giroux joined us this year. We adopted a class poem which shows pretty well our technique about studying. It goes something like this: The more we study, the more we learn, The more we learn, the more we knowg The more we know, the more we forget, The more we forget, the less we know, So - why study ? One day Miss DeLuca came in, backed up to the table and let out one terrific scream. She had put her hand on a stuffed rattlesnake that some- one had brought to school. Well, anyway, she didn't like us too well that afternoon. For our play we put on Elmer and the Lovebugf' Above everything, though, we remember Paul Wilson's licking from
